This may be a banal question but I am a newbie with no experience of raid
installations My friend has a pc with an Asus P5B Deluxe motherboard with two 300GB discs configured as a Raid 0 array - partioned into C: and D: He would like to add a third hard disc and still keep the original two disc array - Is this possible If not he is considering the following: Back up the raid array to an external HDD Remove the raid driver Restore the back up to C: and D: Drives Then install the third HDD If the back up was taken with a disk imaging program, such as Acronis, would it restore 'correctly' ? Regards & TIA |

If there is a spare sata connector simply plug it in and format it in disk
management You cannot simply 'un raid' for want of a better word, raid 0 (striped disks). The file information is spread across both drives. You have in effect a single 600gb drive, the fact that it has been partitioned is immaterial. There is no redundancy in raid 0, one hd fails you lose the lot (all files/data) "." .. wrote in message . uk...
